FUNBRO Multitool Knife Review: Right for Our Shop?
We’ve handled plenty of pocket tools, but the FUNBRO Multitool Knife (Gold) immediately leans into “gift-worthy” territory—flashy without feeling toy-like. In our hands, the gold finish reads more like a statement piece than a worksite beater, which raises the question: does it belong on our shelves, or in someone’s stocking? The folding knife is the headline act, but the real appeal is the all-in-one convenience—ideal for quick fixes, light daily tasks, and the “I need something sharp or useful right now” moments. We’re paying close attention to how it locks, how it carries, and whether the extras feel genuinely functional or just added flair.
SOG PowerPint Multi-Tool Review: Right for Our Shop?
We’ve tried plenty of multi-tools that promise “pocket-sized” and still end up feeling like a brick in our jeans. The SOG PowerPint Mini Compact Stainless Steel Multi-Tool is one of the few that actually earns the name. In our shop, the stone-wash finish looks ready for honest abuse—scratches blend in, fingerprints don’t linger, and it doesn’t scream “too precious to use.” What caught our attention is how much it packs into a small frame: 18 lightweight specialty tools, pliers that feel more capable than the size suggests, and a pocket knife that’s handy for quick cuts without reaching for a full blade. The real question is whether compact convenience can keep up with daily shop demands.
